Unified International Orographic Subdivision of the Alpine System - SOIUSA

SOIUSA - Unified International Orographic Subdivision of the Alpine System (SOIUSA) is a geographical and toponymic classification system of the Alps, developed by Sergio Marazzi in collaboration with the most important institutes and professionals of the Alpine countries, based on geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological and phytogeographical. It is a proposal to reconcile the different grouping systems of the Alpine countries.

lineage The boundaries of the mountain groups according to the SOIUSA are represented, adding three further groups in correspondence with the plain of Klagenfurt, where the author of the subdivision envisaged the exclusion from the Alpine territory. The realization took place by manual digitization based on georeferenced topographical maps with scales variable from 1:10,000 to 1:50,000 according to the zones. For some areas, the data has been improved using orthophotos or satellite photographs. The data table contains the denomination in Italian of the groups and orographic subdivisions of the higher level to which they belong, in addition to the SOIUSA code. The perimeter and area values ​​are calculated.
